This was a challenge which required me to;
Open a fic with this line:
"She lost consciousness during the night."
"She lost consciousness during the night."
"But she's going to be alright isn't she?"
"We're not sure.."
"What do you mean you're not sure! What am I paying you for!"
"I'm sorry Mr Malfoy. We're still running tests.."
He sighed softly and slumped in the chair next to the hospital bed that his precious wife lay unconscious. He put his head in his hands and did something he hadn't done since he was four, he cried. He cried for his wife, for the girl who had saved him, saved him from his father, saved him from the dark lord, saved him from himself. He now sat wishing it was he who was in the hospital bed, that it was he who had almost died.
"Please wake up.. Wake up Ginny please.." He said as he sat up straight and looked over at her pale and sliming form as he took her small hand in his. "Please wake up.." He repeated, he was almost begging now..
Her finger moved! He swore he saw her finger move! He looked up at her face in time to see her eyes slowly opening. He called for the healer quickly before focusing all his attention on her, a smile now on his face. "Ginny? Ginny can you hear me?" He said as she blinked a few times.
"Draco?" Came her hoarse voice as she finally managed to focus on his face. She saw his smile widen and tried to smile back.
"I almost thought I'd lost you.."
"I wouldn't go with out saying goodbye Draco.." She said softly her voice fading slightly, "I love you.." She whispered as her eyelids grew heavy.
"No!" Draco said as he held her in his arms. She smiled softly and whispered the last words she would ever say;
"I'm sorry.."
